I think they go for about $25 cash.

Thanks working on a spread sheet so there might be more.

ThreeLionsGaming.com has a pricelist if you want a general value of a card.  If you're looking to sell them, Prof. Underwood has a bit of a template you can use:

1.  Pull out all the Ultrarare and Promo cards that you have.  Almost all of these have a gold border around them.
2.  Check out what those cards are worth by going here www.threelionsgaming.com.
3.  Decide whether you want to sell all the cards as individuals (so individual players will buy them) or in bulk.
     a.  Individuals: set the price far below what you see at the above site if you want to sell quickly.
          1.  If a card is worth more than $10, then sell it for 75% of value
          2.  If a card is worth between $5 and $10, then sell it for 50% of value
          3.  If a card is worth less than $5, then sell it for $1
     b.  Bulk: It depends on whether you want your collection to be bought by resellers or playgroup leaders.
          1.  Resellers: set the price at around half of what the total value of the Ultrarare/Promos are and wait for offers.
          2.  Playgroup leaders: split the collection into groups of 500 card sets.  Split the Ultrarare/Promos into equal
               groups so that each set gets an equal amount.  Then post the options on the forum and wait for offers.

Although I'm not an expert here (I would look for a second opinion), I think those last four cards could all go for about $5 cash, except maybe HT could be more like $10.

I'm catelogying my collection is why and I don't use 3lions simply because I believe the prices are higher than actual value.

On the contrary 3Lions prices are the actual value in a seller's market.  If a person really needs to get a specific card, and they want it in mint condition, and they want it right away, then 3LG prices are completely fair.  If a person is willing to sacrifice a bit on the condition of the card, or sacrifice some time waiting for someone who wants to get rid of that card, then they could obviously end up getting it cheaper.

3LG is not trying to sell off all their cards, so their prices are fair for what they are trying to do (be a reputable, single card provider that can be depended upon to have the card you are looking for).
